3 Miles Up!



Currahee Mountain







 

          
The photo’s I chose are important to me. The mountain is Currahee Mountain in Toccoa, Georgia. That very mountain is where the famous “Band of Brother’s” of the 101^st Airborne Division trained prior to participation in World War II. The second photo is of me and my wife’s feet posed at the top of the mountain having conquered the three mile uphill run. I served over five years with the 506^th Infantry Regiment and felt it was important to run in the footsteps of those that had before me. While exploring Flickr I was able to perform the steps of uploading my pictures with relative ease. My family already had an account, so it was easiest to just sign in and upload the photo’s I wanted to talk about in my blog. Adding these photo’s to my blog proved a little challenging, but with some trial and error I have succeeded. I’m not sure that I will need to use Flickr for my personal photo sharing experiences in the future, but it is good to learn that this tool is available if I change my mind. Also, the only other photo sharing software I’ve used has been the software preloaded on my computers. So, I feel this lesson was definitely needed in order to broaden my knowledge in this area. As for having my photos in public, I’m not too upset at this point. I feel that technology is not going away, so it is time to become involved. I only feel cautious when I hear of others having trouble with their careers after posting photos, or sharing their feelings through blogs.
